Reminding the rich and famous

That no-one likes a tourist

Sung to Cui Di as He Rode Away to Far South Hill
Pei Di

If you go, then go
Into the hills
Into the valleys
Drink them in
Don’t be that guy
From Wuling
In the Peach Spring
Just for a visit


裴迪  崔九欲往南山马上口号与别
归山深浅去，须尽丘壑美。
莫学武陵人，暂游桃源里。

Apparently tourists and posers were already a problem in the Tang Dynasty. Pei Di reminds Cui Di, who was an important patron of the arts in Chang’an, that if he’s going to retire to the countryside, he should retire properly, and never come back.
